If both wires are carrying a current of 5.5 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in tesla, at point P? If the current from the first wire is 5.5 A and the current from the second is 14 A, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field, in tesla, at point P?

Figure $29-35 a$ shows an element of length $d s=1.00 \mu \mathrm{m}$ in a very long straight wire carrying current. The current in that element sets up_a differential magnetic field $d \vec{B}$ at points in the surrounding space. Figure $29-35 b$ gives the magnitude $d B$ of the field for points $2.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the element, as a function of angle $\theta$ between the wire and a straight line to the point. The vertical scale is set by $d B_{s}=60.0 \mathrm{pT}$. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field set up by the entire wire at perpendicular distance $2.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the wire?
